The Academic Learning Center's (ALC) mission: provide study and reading assistance to St. Cloud State students to help them become more efficient and effective learners.

We offer assistance in these ways:

We offer two 2-credit classes that have an instructional computer lab component as part of their academic program, COLL 110, Reading and Study Strategies, and COLL 120, Power Reading.

Tutor Program

We offer individual tutoring in general study strategies, time management, and test taking, as well as subject tutoring for some general education courses. Click on the link to find an early version of our tutor schedule for Spring 2015: Tutoring Schedule by Subject.
